Usage

{{Alt text missing|optionalpar1|optionalpar2|optionalpar3}}

Parameters

If parameters are present then the article with be added to Category:optionalpar articles missing image alternative text. That category may need to be created as this template only creates the link – it does not create the category.

The categories should be hidden categories using Template:hiddencat. To view hidden categories, one needs to activate them in Special:Preferences. Under "Misc", there is "Show hidden categories".

Removal of template

The template should be removed when the alternative text has been added to the article.

Calling this template from other templates

Or cut and paste the following:

<!--

***** flag those images that need alt text adding *****

-->{{#if: {{{static_image_alt|}}}
|<!-- then --><!-- do nothing -->
|<!-- else -->{{#if: {{{static_image|}}}
|<!-- then -->{{alt text missing|{{{country}}}|{{{shire_county/state}}}
|Unclassified|demospace=main}} }} }}
{{#if: {{{static_image_alt_2|}}}

|<!-- else -->{{#if: {{{static_image_2|}}}
|<!-- then -->{{alt text missing|{{{country}}}|{{{shire_county/state}}}
|Unclassified|demospace=main}} }} }}
